Innovation for conservation

January 26, 2011 By Tom Sadler

When I saw a innovative use for old fly line from the folks at Fly Vines I was more than curious, I placed an order.

Conservation as a business model is always a winner in my book. Fly Vines is a great example.

My order arrived earlier this week.

Fly Vines lanyards and bracelets

The lanyards are well constructed and use a simple snap ring as a safety release.

Simple things make sense

January 17, 2011 By Tom Sadler

I am always on the look out for new ideas that go the simple route. That is why tenkara fishing is so appealing. So when I came across Fly Vines this weekend I was blown away.

These folks are making lanyards from recycled fly line! They are also making bracelets and sunglass keepers.

What an outstanding idea! Conservation as a business model is always a winner in my book.

It certainly fits with my whole tenkara mind set so I immediately ordered a couple of lanyards and bracelets to them check out.

I will post an update with pictures as soon as the goods arrive.
